About Harrison Carlyon

Harrison Carlyon, donning jersey number 9, is a talented all-rounder and one of the youngest ever to debut for Jersey’s senior national cricket team. A right-handed opening batsman and capable off-spinner, Carlyon is known for his composure, maturity beyond his years, and a leadership mentality that belies his youth. Born into a cricketing family—his father Tony Carlyon also played for and coached Jersey—Harrison quickly became a cornerstone of the team. Carlyon made headlines when he debuted for Jersey at just 15 years of age, setting a record as the youngest international cricketer for his country. Since then, he has developed into a reliable top-order batter with an appetite for long innings. As an opener, he brings technical precision and the ability to anchor the innings, while rotating the strike smartly. His patient approach is especially valuable in 50-over cricket, but he has also adapted his game to the T20 format with an array of attacking shots. With the ball, Carlyon bowls tidy off-spin, providing his team with an extra bowling option. He’s effective in breaking partnerships and maintaining pressure during the middle overs. Additionally, he’s one of the safest fielders in the squad—often seen diving to stop boundaries or taking catches under pressure. Beyond his playing skills, Harrison has already taken on leadership roles, including vice-captaincy duties. His cricket intelligence, calm demeanor, and work ethic make him one of Jersey’s most promising prospects for the future. As he continues to gain experience, Carlyon is expected to become a long-term leader and key figure in Jersey’s pursuit of greater international success.
